+Sam Sasmon This is the exact tab of the live performance posted on Warner Brothers Records KZfaq Channel (about 16 million views). Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbNnYLOK2b7YeoE.html Also, this is nothing like the recorded version of Landslide, which is an arrangement for 2 guitars. The version here and obviously all live versions are 1 guitar.

+Sam Sasmon *" It has all the essential Buckingham variations on it." "...a more interesting and lively interpretation of Lindsey's fingerpicking..."* That's a great point that would probably help people frustrated with the difficulty of this song: this version is the most complicated in that it has the most variations of any performance I've found. In other performances he plays a simpler version which repeats the simpler picking patterns/variations. *Best example: **2:32** - **2:42**.* Variations in those measures are an interesting alternative but completely unnecessary. You can ignore them and play the standard patterns from earlier.

The way I took on this song was to try to capture the big picture. What is Lindsey trying to do? The answer, for me at least, was he was slowly increasing the tension of the song as each verse or chorus finishes. For instance, he starts out each verse with a very basic Travis picking pattern. In the last few lines of the verse he adds dominant notes along the 1st string (A#--or G relative to the capo). At first it's one dominant note along the 1st string per measure, then in the next few lines it's about 2 per measure. Then we get to the pre-chorus and he resets to the just the bass notes and then transitions to the chorus. So on and so forth. When trying to sing and play it's hard to remember note-for-note. I'm not Glenn Gould. But by seeing the big picture there's a lot less you have to remember and plenty of room to remember the important variations he does occasionally to fill in the end of lines like in measures 19-20 or 23-24 on my tab.

I recorded this with one of those old digital cameras that actually looked like a camera! 😂 I had it mounted stationary with a tripod and it still couldn't get a clear shot of the Word doc. Oh how technology has changed since the early days of KZfaq! Lol

Did you learn it? I've been working at it for about two months and about 3/4 there.

yes I did... I played it for my mom last October 11 ^_^

Adrienna Aiko Rallos Your very welcome. My original motivation for posting this was watching countless KZfaq Landslide "lesson/ tutorials" that have the picking pattern always, always wrong. The chords are straightforward and so are the notes, but to get this right you need to play the notes in exactly in the *order* in this tab, and emphasize the 1st and 4th notes of each measure. Watch Lindsay Buckingham play it on the version at Warner Brother's KZfaq Channel. It's about 10 million views. Best version :) Also check out my other videos: I posted a clip of me playing this song, at a much slower tempo.

spending a few bucks on screen capture software is well worth the money--it's what I used to make this video--scrolling down a Microsoft Word file.

it's a 4, and no, it shouldn't be ignored. It's an important hammer on. It won't sound bad if you don't play it, but you'd be leaving out part of the melody of the solo.

beavis408 Thanks!!

Bert Bennett BTW, I do appreciate you putting out the effort to learn this and tab it out for folks. I would be glad to send you some money for your time and effort if you could provide me a way to do so. You could pm me on facebook if you wish. Otherwise, thank you very much for your work. Very nice job. Bert Bennett Jackson, TN

Bert Bennett I wouldn't charge money for this because I didn't tab it out. Found it on a (long-forgotten--sorry) website. What I did add are the chords above the lines of tab to indicate the appropriate chord form for that measure/half measure. Also added the "guitar solo", and note to "drop thumb" to aid in picking that rather tricky chord change.

beavis408 Well, you're an honest person. Nice job playing it, too.

3rd fret
